MAC Temperature Rising Swatches/Review

I thought I’d go ahead and share this Limited Edition collection with you because it’s pretty, and hope is not really lost because I will show you a great alternative to one of the lipsticks that you can purchase for < 50% the price! Yes!

As I saw a purple lipstick and GLITTER lipstick, I was on board with this collection from the start. I love bronzes, but I didn’t pick up too much from this collection – just 2 lipsticks and a blush! I love the LE packaging on this, a soft bronze rubber coating – so gorgeous!

Magenta satin blush? Yes please! I love magenta and this color is just perfect for those “freshly pinched” cheeks!

All face swatches also have the Hot Nights blush, so you can see it as part of a makeup look.

Feel My Pulse, a magenta/purple, is a very pretty color, and a Cremesheen finish (one of my faves!) and it’s moisturizing and feels great on! It’s lasts a good amount of time but you will probably have to touch-up after food and drinks!

Caliente was a surprise favorite for me. I have always loved glitter in my lipstick and wore it all throughout college – silver and gold being my favorite. I went back to my roots and picked this one up and am regretting the fact that I didn’t pick up a back up of this one. I love it to pieces and have worn it a good amount of time. Glitter didn’t feel gritty to me, but be warned, that the glitter does get everywhere! But it’s a fun look for a night out or just a good “conversation starter”. Beautiful, beautiful lipstick! I need MOAR Dazzle finishes!

Now, for the good news. You can get Maybelline Brazen Berry just about anywhere. I just saw it at my local Kroger for about $5! And, it looks a lot like Feel My Pulse, just sheerer and glossier. Want to see what I mean? On, it looks almost impossible to tell, so it’s a great way to save money or use instead if you missed out!

No problem! It’s definitely a great alternative if you missed out on Feel My Pulse! I absolutely love Caliente and wish that I had gotten a back up or two (especially because of the rate I’ve been wearing it!) 🙂
